Hindenburg Is Anxious To Shoulder All Blame And Save the Ea -Kaiser IELD MARSHAL HINDEN--. BURG follows Bethmann- Hollweg's example in offering to shoulder William II's war responsibilities. He telegraphs the Ebert Government that he was ac- countable for all decisions and acts' at Grand Headquarters frottt August 29, 1916, until the signing of the armistice. In making= this assertion Hinden- burg shows generosity. Technically-, he was the head of the armies doling the period` named. But little coticdal- ment has been made of the fact that early' in 1917 his power passed' to FIELD MARSHAL HINDENBURG. Ludendorff, who became for the rest of the war a practical military and political dictator. Ludendorff's judgment was far less sound than Hindenburg's, and Germany suffered from the substitu- tion. But the former's propensity to take big risks and engage in showy enterprises made him more oopular with the clique which controlled the. Kaiser. What. part Hindenb':arg had in planning the 1918 offensives in, France is still uncertain. But it was not a decisive part. Logically, there- fore, he injures the Kai.ser's case when he tries to relieve him of re- sponsibility for the acts and policies of the German High Command; If he is accountable for what others did, William If is similarly account- able. For the latter was always leg- ally and constitutionally the supreme commander of the armies and the head of the state. Hindenburg was responsible to him as "War Lord" to the same extent to which Ludendorff and others were responsible to Hin- denburg. Modern St. Bernard Dogs. Although the tunnels which now onnect Switzerland with Italy have eatly decreased the importance of :he Saint Bernardnd other passes, especially during the eight months �f snow, it, is still deemed advisable :a -employ Saint Bernard dogs: It is to longer customary, however, to ;end out- the dogs alone with- baskets f food and drink; a man always ac- ompanies them. These dogs are not sally of -the famous old Saint Ber- ard breed. That originated in the ourteenth century, through a. cross +etween a shepherd, dog from vales and a Scandinavian dog whose par- nts were a Great Dane and a Pyre- ean mastiff. The last pure descen- iant of this tribe was buried under s avalanche in 1816. Fortunately. here were found subsequently at sfartigny and on the Simplon Pass a ew dogs which, by crossing with nates from Wales, yielded the mod- rn Saint Bernard dog, which is phy- ically even stronger than his inedi- ieval namesake and shares most of its traits.—Family Herald._ Jade Very Valuable. Practically all the jade now mined tomes from Burma, though New Zea- land is a producer of some note. china takes practically the entire utput. In Burma the privilege of Wining it has been held by the same Indian or Shan tribe for many gen- rations. The method employed is he crudest. Indeed_ experts declare hat the introduction of modern nethods would, even if they proved successful, defeat themselves by de- noralizing values. The Chinese pre- fer jade which is of a dark green color, free from all mottles, and jade of this particular, grade is worth its weight in gold. There are imitations of jade on the market, generally pro duced in Europe, which only experts can detect, and a large amount, of this .. imitation stone, manufactured into jewelry in Hong Kong and Can- ton, is sold . to tourists as jade.- Family Herald, More Mystery Ships. The first of a new type of "mys- tery ship" for the British Admiralty has been completed in Southwich, near Brighton. ° Unlike the "mystery ships" built during the war, the new vessels are not intended for destruc tion, but for salvaging merchant ves- sels sunk by German submarines around the coast of the United' King- dom. Six ships of the new type, are to be built, each at a cost of nearly £1,000,000.

J.—"For about ' three years I suffered from nervous break- down and, got so weak 1 could hardly stand, and hadhead- =aches every day. I tried everything I could think of and was under a . phy- sician's care for two years. A girl friend had used Lydia E. e. '-�11 , Pink ham's Vege- table Compound and she told me about 1/2s•.� it. From the first '>.' day I took iti began to feel better and >a,\ now 1 am well anti ;� able to do most any •� k i -n d of work. I 1 have been recom- mending the C o m - pound ever since and give you my per mission to publish this letter." --Mise FLO KELLY, 41'6 So. 14th St., Newark, N.J. The reason this famous root and herb remedy, Lydia E. Pinkharn's Vegetable Compound, was so successful in Miss Kelly's case was because it went to the root of her trouble, restored her to a normal healthy condition and as a result her nervousness disappeared. PAN THE WORLD STARVE? One Authority Answers With an Emphatic "No." Will the time come when the World cannot feed its inhabitants? Not, according to a writer in the magazine Power, if the farmer goes about the business .of increasing pro- duction on scientific lines. To quote: "Mr, Crooks, a great English land- owner, after studying the question carefully, came to the conclusion that during thj last seventy years there was an average increase of six mil- lion breadeaters a year, and that at such a .rate the time might be fore- seen when, all lie arable surface of the globe being used up, there would of all necessity be a bread scarcity. The year 1931 was given as the ap- proximate date. But that was before -the war. "Though the danger does not seem very threatening as yet, it is advis- able to lend a willing ear to the pa- tient investigators who point out the remedy before it 'is too: late. Prof. H. Coutant,well versed in agricul- tural questions, has contrived a • method which would procure a har- vest ten times greater by. using ten times less fertilizer. This abrupt statement seems at first somewhat paradoxical; not so when you follow the professor's simple and practical demonstration. "Why - waste on acres of aground tons of fertilizing substances that are mostly absorbed, b'y weeds, whereas the tiny grain of wheat drains an insignificant portion of them? We should blush for shame at the thought that in our century of in- tense life and culture;` cereals are still left to strive or dim in the same old way as five hundred years ago? Instead, of always ,breaking up new lands fOr the raising or crops, Iet us turn to, the old and increase their output. Each grain of wheat should yield not one but thirty or forty ears; and in its turn each ear should con- tain not merely thirty, but sixty nevi grains. "Those figures are not given at random, they are the fruit of ex- periments such as were witnessed bye 6Dr. Emile Rey, „the. Senator of the Department du Lot, M. Felix, pro- fessor of agriculture at the Profes- sional, School 'of Vierzon, etc., and many well known men specialized -in the domain of fas?rming. "Not only cereals, but potatoes, vegetables, flowers, etc., ca,n be treated in the same way, though, of course, the proportions of fertilizer used `vary somewhat for each differ- ent species. As an example, fifteen especially prepared tubercles have produced 275 pounds of potatoes. "Now for the general principle. Any grain or tubercle contains a nu- tritive reserve that `will feed the new germ until' its roots can take from the environment all the principles it needs. Why not increase the reserve? Why not saturate the grain with some fertilizing substance, feed it forcibly, and only plant it afterward? A few pounds of manure will bring about superior results to those for- merly obtained by hundreds of GENUINE ASPIRIN HAS 'BAYER CROSS'° Tablets withoilt '' Bayer Cross' are not Aspirin at a)l, Get genuine "Bayer Tablets of Aspiristi" in a "Bayer" package, plainly marked with the safety "Bayer Cross.' Genuine "Bayer Tablet~ of Aspirin" are now marl, in C'annada by ai Canadian Company.' No German interest what- ever, all rights being purchased from the United States Government. During tice war, acid imitation, were sold as Aspirin in pill boxers and various other containers.

The tonic fixed by the stareh of the grain is merely a solution of sali of potassium nitrate (16 grams to a litre of water. Between twelve and thirty-six hours are necessary for complete saturation,: the grains then 'drop to the bottom of the jar. in the case of tubercles, another for- mula is used -23 grains of potassium nitrate plus two gram. or coppersul- phate for each litre' of water; aecos+ir ing-to their size the potatoes are is be immersed froml two to five hour . "To insure a still better result the cereals should then be powdered wide a mixture of copper sulphate sod lime; and once the tubercles hue been thoroughly dried, the operatasr will sprinkle them with sublimated dower of brimstone, which keel them free from disease. "To those who follow his advice Prof, Coutant promises a harvest such as they have never yet beheld." Sleepless Eyes. All fishes which sleep do so Whitt tb.eir eyes open, as they are not pro- vided with eyelids, and cannot, them - fore, close their eyes. From experi- ments made it was discovered that some fishes have no preference, far the night time, but sleep equally meal during the day, says a writer in , the Post-lntelligencer of Seattle. They may be observed resting quite motionless for periods, appar- ently in sleep, except that, haves no eyelids, they are unable to close their eyes to exclude all influences from without:. The hare also sleeps with its eyes open, for the simple reason that` its, eyes are unprovided with eyelids. Instead( of these there is a thin membrane which with certain birds folds like a curtain in the corner of the eye, and, by an instantaneous action, flies back when sight is required, leaving the eye immediat o- ly and fully olien for the exercise or sight. Some birds, such as .the eagle, also have this membrane, which, when at rest, lies in the corner of the . eye, folded up like a drawn curtain. The !'Breeches" Bible. "Then the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked and they sewed fig -tree leaves together and made themselves breeches." The quotation constitutes a version of the Adam and Eve story of Genesis. It was taken from the rarest of the various editions of the Bible known as the "breeches" Bible. It was printed in London in 1615 by Robert Barker, "printer to the king's' most excellent magestie." As if the fact that Adam and Eve were naked, and had decided to don breeches, were insufficient, a foot- note on the subject was introduced.. •It specified that the breeches "were things to gird about them." Reference books say that it was (he most popular Bible that ever appeared in England and that for sixty years it held its own against all rivals, contesting the ground with authorized version. The word "regatta' 'originally ap- plied to the contests of_the gondoliers at Venice. �~r�N�►�♦�•� �j�e��H�N�M�••�M�N�M�N�N�M�N�µ�N�N�N'� Sir Douglas #Haig Was Misunderstood by Those Who Criticised his Speech, •�'N♦M�H�M�N♦M�I.�M�M�N•H�NrN�M�f♦�M�Mr 1.♦'erM�MrNrN�Ne. OME few weeks ago the story was circulated that Sir Doug- Ias Haig had made a speech in which he claimed that the British forces -won the war. It need hardly be pointed out that this type of story is calculated to create ill - feeling, and it is the duty of every- one who desires to foster good -will in the world to make known the fact that the British commander was mis- interpreted. It was hardly necessary for 'Sir Douglas Haig to say that in his recent address eulogizing the work of the British Empire in the war he intended in no way to mini- mize the work of others. Except in circles where there is manifest desire to foster ill -feeling between the two great English- speaking countries, his remarks were not misinterpreted. It was plain he was replying to those who have meanly sought to deprive the men who fought under him of just credit rather thanto derogate from others.
